One of the mysterious things in this
life is the change that takes place in the
fortunes of some men who begin well.
gain competence, achieve honor, and
in their old age grow poor, helpless and
friendless. George R. Graham was once
the publisher Of Graham's Magazine at
Philadelphia. Longfellow, Bryant,
Cooper, Hawthorne and Willis used to
write for him. These men were among
his friends, and Edgar Allen Poe did
some of his best work on that magazine.
Out of the writings of these famous lit
erary lights of that day Graham made con-
siderable money and a wide reputation.
But in the last few years he has declined
in health, his property has gone, he is
almost friendless, and to-day he lies in
a New York charity hospital poor.
helpless old man. A philanthropic
Philadelphia who knew Graham when
he was a power in the literary world,
contributed some money recently to pre-
vent him from being sent to the poor
house. Graham never seemed to be an
extravagant man, but somehow the fates
were against him and dragged him down
to abject poverty.

The particular Office of flies appears to
be the consumption of those dead and
minute animals whose decaying myriads
would otherwise poison the If. 1t was a
remark of Linn@us that three flies could
consume dead horse sooner than lion
could. He doubtless includes the fami-
lies of three flies. A single fly, the natur-
alist tells Us, will sometimes produce
10000 Larvae, each OF which, IN a few
days, may be the parent of another 90
600, and thus the descendants of three
flies would 500 devour an animal much
larger than horse.

The secretary of the navy is letting
some gigantic contracts for building war
vessels, and for supplying heavy steel for
armor and steel forgings for arms. The
amount of steel called for, for the next two
or three years, will keep several large es-
Establishments at work and half dozen
ship yards are loaded with work for a
long time. The Canada Goldfish war is
the only war in sight, and that is rot a
big war cloud, but the country is deter
mined to have reasonable preparations
made for defense and offense if necessary,
and the government is pushing the work
with commendable zeal. The money is
all at hand and it is only question of a
short time when the country will again
be satisfied with its navy.

The Inter State Commerce Commissioners APP
pointed.

The president has appointed the fol-
lowing inter state commerce commission
ers: Thomas M. Cooley, of Michigan, for
term of six years; William r. Morrison,
of Illinois, for term of five years; Au-
gustus Schoonmaker, of New York, for a
term of four years; Aldace f. Walker, of
Vermont, for term of three years, and
Walter L. Bragg, of Alabama, for term
of two years.
The fact that Cooley's name heads the
list does not necessarily indicate that he
will be chairman of the committee as it
must elect its own chairman. Cooley was
recently appointed by Judge Gresham
receiver of the Wabash railroad.
Aldace F. Walker, is Vermont law
yer about A years old, republican in
politics, who studied law with Senator
Edmunds served as colonel in the union
army and since then practiced law in
Rutland. In the Vermont senate he has
taken leading part in framing legisla-
ton to solve the railroad problem, and
has given much study to the question.
Augustus Schoonmaker is lawyer of
Kingston, n. Y, and was alwaysa close
personal and political friend of Cover
nor Tilden. He succeeded Mr.. Far
child as attorney of New York state.
Mr.. Bragg has been the leading demo
crat in the Alabama state railroad com
mission and served in that position four
years, during which time many impor-
tant questions arising between the rail
soad and their customers were satisfac-
torily adjusted. Mr.. Morrison's public
services are well known.
